读 Time Management for System Administrator

在豆瓣上找到的是中文版的封面，其实国外的书，如果英语不是很差的话，还是可以尽量看原版的。

第一次让我对时间管理有些概念的是李笑来老师的《把时间当作朋友》，然后又看了李老师推荐的《奇特的一生》。《把时间当作朋友》这本书主要是以教导式的方式，激励我们要珍惜时间，利用时间，不要让时间在指缝中溜走。从《奇特的一生》中受益最大的是主人公柳比歇夫的那种坚持的精神，以及做事情的计划性。每天、每月、每年都有计划，每天的结束都会总结自己的一天，不是每天写一大段的感想感悟（我相信没有人每天都有新的感想感悟的，能有的只是做过的哪些具体的事情），而是将自己的一天做过的是记录下来，仅仅是记录，没有多余的言语，没有多余的解释。受这本书的影响，我现在的日记格式就是分成三段：1、今日收获；2、明日事项；3、每日摘抄诗词一首。

看《Time Management for System Administrator》这本书是因为豆瓣的推荐。时间管理，就其定义来说，是一个很广泛的范畴。其中心思想就是，利用好人生有限的时间，做有意义的事情。到具体的每个人时，方法会各有各的不同。柳比歇夫用自己独特的时间记录方法来管理时间，同时李笑来老师说不用管实现的途径，关键是坚持。这本书的作者 Thomas A.Limoncelli 就专门针对系统管理员，介绍了自己在时间管理方面的一些技巧。
